WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY

DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES

The WRG US ZAI Settlement Trust Distribution Procedures (the “ZAI

TDP”) contained herein provide for resolving all US ZAI PD Claims as defined in

the Joint Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code of

W.R. Grace & Co., et al. dated February 3, 2009 (as it may be amended or

modified, the “Plan”), including, without limitation, all “Zonolite Attic Insulation

Claims” as defined in the General Instructions For Completing the W. R. Grace &

Co. ZAI Proof of Claim, attached to the Certification of Counsel regarding order:

(a) establishing October 31, 2008 as the proof of claim Bar Date for Zonolite

Attic Insulation claims; and (b) approving the related proof of claim form, Bar

Date notices and notice program. (Dkt. No. 18920, June 13, 2008). The Plan and

the Asbestos Property Damage Settlement Trust Agreement (“PD Trust

Agreement”) establish the WRG Asbestos PD Trust (the “PD Trust”). The PD

Trust will have a separate ZAI Trustee who will administer the ZAI Trust Assets,

the ZAI claims process, the ZAI educational program and all related ZAI matters.

The ZAI Trustee shall implement and administer this ZAI TDP in accordance

with the ZAI Class Settlement Agreement and the PD Trust Agreement.

SECTION I

Introduction

1.1 Purpose. This ZAI TDP has been adopted pursuant to the PD Trust Agreement

and the Plan. It is designed to provide fair, equitable and substantially similar

Page 3: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

2

treatment for all US ZAI PD Claims that may presently exist or may arise in the

future in compliance with Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code.

1.2 Interpretation. Except as may otherwise be provided below, nothing in this ZAI

TDP shall be deemed to create a substantive right for any Claimant. The rights

and benefits provided herein to holders of US ZAI PD Claims shall vest in such

holders as of the Effective Date of the Plan.

SECTION II

Overview

2.1 US ZAI Trust Distribution Goals. The purpose of the US ZAI TDP is to treat

Claimants equitably and to provide a low transaction cost method for resolving

US ZAI PD Claims. The ZAI Trustee shall operate the ZAI aspects of the PD

Trust in accordance with this purpose, and limit PD Trust administrative

expenditures for ZAI matters to reasonable amounts required to carry out this

purpose. At no time may the ZAI Trustee waste ZAI Trust Assets. The ZAI

Trustee will only pay legitimate US ZAI PD Claims as verified by compliance

with the evidentiary requirements of this ZAI TDP. This ZAI TDP may be

interpreted by the ZAI Trustee only when an ambiguity exists. The interpretation

shall be consistent with the purposes set forth herein, including providing

payment in a cost-effective manner. Claimants may, but need not, be represented

by counsel when making a Claim under this ZAI TDP. If a Claimant hires

counsel, any fee agreement is a matter of private contract between the Claimant

and counsel.

Page 4: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

3

2.2 Claims Liquidation Procedures. US ZAI PD Claims shall be processed based

on their place in the FIFO Processing Queue to be established pursuant to Section

5.1.1 below. The ZAI Trustee shall take all reasonable steps to resolve US ZAI

PD Claims as efficiently and expeditiously as possible at each stage of claims

processing and dispute resolution, including, in the ZAI Trustee’s sole discretion,

conducting settlement discussions with Claimants or their representatives. The

ZAI Trustee shall make every effort to resolve each year all US ZAI PD Claims

filed by October 1st of that year and as many of the US ZAI PD Claims filed

thereafter as feasible.

2.3 Application of the Payment Percentage. After the Allowed Value of a US ZAI

PD Claim is determined by the ZAI Trustee using the information provided by the

Claimant in accordance with Sections 5.4 (Evidentiary Requirements), 6.1

(Claims Materials), and 7.1 (Showing Required), and a percentage of 55% is

applied to the Allowed Value to produce an Allowed Amount, the Claimant shall

receive 100% of the Allowed Amount (the “Initial Payment Percentage”) unless

there are insufficient funds available, based on the ZAI Trustee’s determination,

to pay all Claimants 100% of their Allowed Amount in a given year. In such

case, unless the ZAI Trustee chooses, in conjunction with the ZTAC and the PD

FCR, to invoke the provision of Section 4.4 of this ZAI TDP, the Initial Payment

Percentage may be adjusted by the ZAI Trustee with the consent of the ZTAC and

the PD FCR, to reflect then-current estimates of the ZAI Trust Assets and its

liabilities, as well as the then-estimated value of pending and future claims. Any

adjustment to the Initial Payment Percentage shall be made only pursuant to

Page 5: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

4

Section 4.2 below, and it is the intention of this ZAI TDP that all claims be paid at

100% of their Allowed Amount as quickly as feasible. If the Initial Payment

Percentage is decreased at any time below 100% and then increased, or if the

provisions of Section 4.4 below have been invoked, Claimants whose claims were

liquidated and paid at less than 100% of their Allowed Amount in prior periods

under the ZAI TDP shall receive additional payments as provided in Sections 4.3

and 4.4 below. Because there is uncertainty with respect to both the number and

size of future US ZAI PD Claims, and the amount of the ZAI Trust Assets, no

guarantee can be made of any particular Payment Percentage of a US ZAI PD

Claim’s Allowed Amount.

2.4 ZAI Trustee’s Determination of the Maximum Annual Payment. The ZAI

Trustee shall estimate or model the amount of cash flow anticipated to be

necessary over its entire life to ensure that funds shall be available to treat all

present and future holders of US ZAI PD Claims as similarly as possible. In each

year, the ZAI Trustee shall be empowered to pay out all of the income earned

during the year (net of taxes payable with respect thereto), together with as much

of its principal (including 100% where applicable), calculated so that the

application of ZAI Trust Assets funds over the PD Trust’s life shall correspond

with the initial and estimated anticipated future flow of claims (the “Maximum

Annual Payment”), taking into account the Payment Percentage provisions set

forth in Sections 2.3, 4.2 and 4.3. The ZAI Trustee’s distributions to all

Claimants for a given year shall not exceed the Maximum Annual Payment

determined for that year.

SECTION III

TDP Administration

3.1 ZAI Trust Advisory Committee (ZTAC). This ZAI TDP shall be administered

by the ZAI Trustee in consultation with the ZTAC. The ZAI Trustee shall obtain

the consent of the ZTAC and the PD FCR on any amendments to this ZAI TDP

pursuant to Section 8.1 below, and on such other matters as are otherwise required

by the PD Trust Agreement, the Plan or this ZAI TDP. The initial members of the

ZTAC are Edward J. Westbrook, Esq., Darrell W. Scott, Esq. and, serving ex

officio, The Honorable Alexander M. Sanders. Individual ZTAC members shall

choose their successor, unless a ZTAC member should die or become

incapacitated, in which case the remaining ZTAC member and the PD FCR shall

choose the successor to the deceased or incapacitated member; provided, that if

for any reason the remaining ZTAC member and the PD FCR are unable to

choose a successor for a deceased or incapacitated ZTAC member, application

shall be made to the Bankruptcy Court by any remaining ZTAC member, the PD

FCR, or the ZAI Trustee seeking appointment of a successor ZTAC member or

members. While solely an ex officio member of the ZTAC, the PD FCR shall be

entitled to all rights and privileges of regular members of the ZTAC; provided,

however, that the PD FCR shall vote on issues put to the ZTAC only in the event

that there is a tie vote by the ZTAC members. The PD FCR shall nominate his

successor, unless he is unable to do so, in which case the successor shall be

nominated by the ZTAC. A nominated successor to the PD FCR must be

confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

Page 7: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

6

3.2 Consent and Consultation Procedures. In those circumstances in which

consultation or consent is required, the ZAI Trustee shall provide written notice to

the ZTAC, the PD FCR, and W. R. Grace of the specific amendment or other

action that is proposed. The ZAI Trustee shall not implement such amendment,

nor take such action, unless and until the parties consult.

SECTION IV

Payment Percentage; Periodic Estimates

4.1 Uncertainty of Grace’s US ZAI PD Asbestos Liabilities. To ensure

substantially equivalent treatment of all present and future US ZAI PD Claims,

the ZAI Trustee shall determine from time to time the percentage of the full

liquidated value of the Allowed Amount that holders of present and future US

ZAI PD Claims shall be likely to receive, i.e., the “Payment Percentage”

described in Sections 2.3 and 4.2.

4.2 Computation of Payment Percentage. As provided in Section 2.3, the Initial

Payment Percentage shall be 100% unless decreased by the ZAI Trustee as

provided herein after consultation with the ZTAC and the PD FCR. In making

any such adjustment, the ZAI Trustee, the PD FCR, and the ZTAC shall take into

account the fact that the holders of US ZAI Voting Claims voted on the Plan

relying on the fact that the Initial Payment Percentage for all Allowed US ZAI PD

Claims would be 100%. This percentage is based on the number of US ZAI

Claimants who had filed claims by the US ZAI Bar Date and had undertaken

some remedial action that would qualify for reimbursement from the ZAI Trust

Assets under the ZAI Term Sheet and Class Settlement Agreement.

Page 8: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

7

The Payment Percentage shall be subject to change pursuant to the terms

of this ZAI TDP and the PD Trust Agreement if the ZAI Trustee, with the consent

of the ZTAC and the PD FCR, determines that an adjustment is required;

provided, however, that the Payment Percentage shall not exceed 100%. No less

frequently than once every three (3) years, commencing with the first day of

January occurring after the Effective Date, the ZAI Trustee shall evaluate the

then-applicable Payment Percentage to assure that it is based on accurate, current

information and may, after such reconsideration, change the Payment Percentage

if necessary with the consent of the ZTAC and the PD FCR. The ZAI Trustee

shall also evaluate whether the then-applicable Payment Percentage should be

reconsidered at shorter intervals if appropriate or if requested to do so by the

ZTAC or the PD FCR.

The ZAI Trustee must base its determination of the Payment Percentage

on current estimates of the number and size of present and future compensable US

ZAI PD Claims, the value of the ZAI Trust Assets available for their payment, all

anticipated administrative and legal expenses, and any other material matters that

are reasonably likely to affect the sufficiency of funds to pay a comparable

percentage of full value to all holders of US ZAI PD Claims. When making these

determinations, the ZAI Trustee shall exercise common sense and flexibly

evaluate all relevant factors.

4.3 Applicability of the Payment Percentage. If a redetermination of the Payment

Percentage has been proposed in writing by the ZAI Trustee to the ZTAC and the

PD FCR, but has not yet been adopted, all claims in process shall receive the

Page 9: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

8

lower of the current Payment Percentage or the proposed Payment Percentage.

However, if the proposed Payment Percentage was the lower amount but was not

subsequently adopted, the Claimant shall thereafter receive the difference between

the lower proposed amount and the higher current amount. Conversely, if the

proposed Payment Percentage was the higher amount and was subsequently

adopted, the Claimant shall thereafter receive the difference between the lower

current amount and the higher adopted amount.

If the ZAI Trustee, with the consent of the ZTAC and the PD FCR, makes

a determination to increase a Payment Percentage that has been below 100% due

to a material change in the estimates of the ZAI Trust Assets and/or liabilities or

for any other reason, the ZAI Trustee shall also make supplemental payments to

all Claimants who previously liquidated their claims and received payments based

on a lower Payment Percentage. The amount of any such supplemental payment

shall be the liquidated amount of the claim in question times the newly adjusted

Payment Percentage, less all amounts previously paid to the Claimant with respect

to the claim, plus interest on that amount at the rate prevailing for federal court

judgments from the time of the initial payment until the supplemental payment.

4.4 Temporary Cash-Flow Adjustments to Payments. Since W. R. Grace has

obligations to fund the ZAI Trust Assets in the PD Trust on an ongoing, periodic

basis as set forth in the ZAI Term Sheet, ZAI Class Action Settlement Agreement

and applicable reorganization documents, the ZAI Trustee may determine, with

the consent of the ZTAC and the PD FCR, that it is not feasible at the then present

time to pay ZAI Claimants 100% of the Allowed Amount due to cash flow issues

Page 10: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

9

arising from the timing of payments to the PD Trust by W. R. Grace, and that an

adjustment to the Payment Percentage is necessary. In such an event, and

notwithstanding any other provision of this ZAI TDP, the ZAI Trustee may pay a

US ZAI Claimant less than 100% of the Allowed Amount of an approved claim,

and instead may pay that claim and all other claims during the period of

insufficient cash flow at a lower rate determined by the ZAI Trustee so as to allow

all approved claims to be paid ratably during the entire period of predicted

decreased cash flow. The lower percentage payment provided for by this Section

shall apply only until the receipt of the next scheduled payment from W. R.

Grace. Thereafter, any Claimant who received a payment made at a lower rate

pursuant to this provision shall be entitled to a supplemental payment, prior to any

other claimants in any FIFO queue, equal to the difference, if any, between the

payment already received and the payment that would have been made at the

current Payment Percentage, plus interest at the then prevailing federal judgment

rate, from the date of the initial payment until the supplemental payment is made.

SECTION V

Resolution of US ZAI PD Claims

5.1 Ordering, Processing and Payment of Claims.

5.1.1 Establishment of the FIFO Processing Queue. The ZAI Trustee shall

order claims that are sufficiently complete to be reviewed for processing purposes

on a FIFO basis except as otherwise provided herein (the “FIFO Processing

Queue”). The Claimant’s position in the FIFO Processing Queue shall be

determined by the date the claim is filed with the PD Trust. Claims filed on the

Page 11: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

10

same date shall receive the same FIFO number and an identifying subscript (e.g.

Claim 331(a), Claim 331(b).

5.1.2 Inapplicability of Tort System Defenses. It is the intention of this ZAI

TDP that valid US ZAI PD Claims will be paid without regard to any defenses

that could have been asserted in the tort system except for those requirements set

forth in this ZAI TDP: product identification (Section 5.4.1(a) or 5.4.2), verified

expenditures (Section 5.4.1.(b)), and ownership interest (Section 5.4.1(c)). No

other defenses, affirmative or otherwise, shall be considered in processing a

claim, except for fraud or misrepresentation which will result in a claim being

denied and the claim referred for future proceedings pursuant to Section 5.6.

5.1.3 Processing and Payment of Claims. US ZAI PD Claims that have been

allowed shall be paid in FIFO order based on the date their allowance became

final (the “FIFO Payment Queue”), all such payments being subject to the

applicable Payment Percentage, and the Maximum Annual Payment.

5.2 ZAI Resolution Procedures. As soon as feasible following establishment of the

PD Trust, the ZAI Trustee, with the consent of the ZTAC and the PD FCR, shall

adopt procedures for reviewing and liquidating all US ZAI PD Claims. Such

procedures shall require that Claimants seeking resolution of US ZAI PD Claims

shall first file a proof of claim form, together with the required supporting

documentation, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.4, 6.1 and 6.2

below. Upon filing of a valid proof of claim form with the required supporting

documentation, the Claimant shall be placed in the FIFO Processing Queue in

accordance with the ordering criteria described in Section 5.1.1 above.

11

5.3 ZAI Educational Program.

1. The ZAI Trustee may, in his or her discretion, expend up to $2 million

over the first three years after the Effective Date, and up to $500,000 for

each three-year period thereafter, to fund an educational program about

ZAI, to be developed with the advice and consent of the ZTAC and the PD

FCR, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3.2.

2. Initially, the content of any such educational program shall be consistent

with published EPA guidance concerning ZAI and with the Debtors’ US

ZAI bar date notice program; provided, however, that the educational

program’s content shall reflect any material scientific or regulatory

changes or developments that pertain to ZAI, in terms and in a manner of

publication acceptable to the Reorganized Grace. In the event the ZAI

Trustee and the Reorganized Grace disagree on any matter set forth in this

paragraph, the parties shall submit such disagreement to the alternative

dispute resolution procedure of Section 5.7.

5.4 Evidentiary Requirements. The US ZAI PD Claim Form will inform

prospective Claimants that they must meet the following evidentiary requirements

for their claim to be allowed:

1. For ZAI remedial action taken before the date on which this ZAI TDP is

approved and published on the Trust website, a Claimant must submit the

information set forth below:

Page 13: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

12

(a) the following documentary or other evidence sufficient to

demonstrate that ZAI is or was installed in the structure which is

the subject of the claim:

(1) a receipt or invoice reflecting the purchase of ZAI for the

structure; or

(2) an affidavit from a Claimant who timely filed a US ZAI

Proof of Claim and who has direct personal knowledge of

events surrounding the installation of ZAI in the structure:

(i) attesting that ZAI was installed in the structure; and (ii)

attesting to facts establishing his or her direct personal

knowledge; or

(3) a ZAI bag, portion of a ZAI bag, or photograph of a ZAI

bag in the structure, with an affidavit from the homeowner

or abatement contractor verifying that the bag was found in

the structure’s attic or other area in question; or

(4) a certification that vermiculite attic insulation was present

in the structure, attested to by a licensed or certified

asbestos abatement contractor who removed vermiculite

from the structure; or

(5) a sample of the vermiculite attic insulation (minimum 2

tbsps. of material) with an affidavit by the homeowner or

contractor that the insulation came from the structure in

question; or

Page 14: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

13

(6) before and after photographs of the attic or other area in

question depicting the presence of and removal of

vermiculite attic insulation accompanied by an affidavit by

the homeowner or contractor verifying that the material

depicted in the photographs was vermiculite that was

present in that structure; or

(7) a laboratory report showing the presence of vermiculite in

an attic insulation sample taken from the structure.

(b) the following documentary evidence to establish the funds

expended by the Claimant to remove, abate or contain ZAI:

(1) (i) a copy of the contract or invoice specifying the cost of

removing, abating or containing ZAI, and (ii) cancelled

checks or credit card statements reflecting payment of the

specific cost of removing, abating or containing ZAI; or

(2) where any payment by the PD Trust will be

made directly to the contractor which removed, abated or

contained ZAI: (i) cancelled checks or credit card

statements reflecting payment of the applicable non-

reimbursable portion of the specific cost for removal,

abatement or containment of ZAI, consistent with section

5.4(b)(1); (ii) a copy of the contract or invoice for such

work; and (iii) a certification from the contractor that the

Page 15: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

14

work reflected in such contract or invoice was performed to

completion.

(c) an affidavit establishing that the Claimant is or was an owner or

tenant of the structure.

2. For ZAI remedial action taken after the date on which this ZAI TDP is

approved and published on the PD Trust website, and providing that the

testing procedure described below is implemented, a Claimant, in addition

to establishing its costs under Section 5.4.1(b), and its property interest

under Section 5.4.1(c) must comply with Section 5.4.1(a)(1) or

5.4.1(a)(3), or the following:

(a) If the ZAI Trustee and Reorganized Grace agree that there exists a

feasible, reliable and economical test to distinguish ZAI from non-

ZAI vermiculite attic insulation, a Claimant must submit a sample

of the vermiculite attic insulation (of a size to be determined)

either to a laboratory approved by the PD Trust to conduct such a

test or as otherwise directed by the PD Trust. The PD Trust will

pay for the Claimant’s remedial action pursuant to the ZAI TDP

unless the material is determined not to be ZAI. The cost of the

test will be paid by the PD Trust and will not reduce a Claimant’s

recovery.

(b) If the procedure in Section 5.4.2(a) is implemented, and the ZAI

Trustee and Reorganized Grace agree after two years of experience

with the test that the benefits of such a testing program are

Page 16: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

15

insufficient to justify its continued use, the ZAI Trustee may

discontinue the testing requirement of Section 5.4.2(a) and the

procedure set forth in Section 5.4.1 will be reinstated for all

Claimants.

(c) In the event the ZAI Trustee and Reorganized Grace disagree on

the determinations in Section 5.4.2(a) or Section 5.4.2(b), the

parties shall submit such disagreement to the alternative dispute

resolution procedure of Section 5.7.

3. If the testing procedure outlined in Section 5.4.2(a) is not implemented,

then a Claimant must comply with the criteria in Section 5.4.1 for ZAI

remedial action taken after the date this ZAI TDP is approved and

published on the PD Trust website.

4. Subject to Section 5.4.5., claims that qualify for payment from the PD

Trust in accordance with the ZAI TDP shall be paid 55% of the Allowed

Value (provided the 100% payment percentage of Section 2.3 is in effect),

but in no event shall the PD Trust pay more than 55% of $7,500 (the latter

figure is hereafter referred to as the “Maximum Claim Amount”) on any

claim; provided, however, that (a) commencing on the fifth anniversary of

the Effective Date, the Maximum Allowed Value shall be increased by the

increase in the Consumer Price Index for the preceding 12 months, and (b)

the Maximum Allowed Value shall be increased every year thereafter on

the anniversary of the Effective Date by the increase in the Consumer

Page 17: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

16

Price Index for the 12 months immediately preceding each such

anniversary date.

5. The ZAI Trustee shall only pay claims that are in compliance with the

requirements of the Plan, the ZAI TDP and the ZAI claim form.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ZAI Trustee may liquidate and pay up

to 5 claims per year that, in the ZAI Trustee’s discretion, qualify as

Extraordinary Claims, but in no event shall the ZAI Trustee pay more than

$100,000 cumulatively in any year with respect to such Extraordinary

Claims. In addition, the ZAI Trustee may pay up to $25,000 each to the

two class representatives in the Barbanti class action (Barbanti and Busch)

in recognition of the time, effort and commitment those individuals

expended in the ZAI litigation and thereby contributed to the resolution

embodied in the ZAI Term Sheet and Class Settlement Agreement.

5.5 Claims Audit Program. W. R. Grace, with the input of the ZTAC and the PD

FCR, may develop methods for auditing the reliability of the claims and evidence

submitted to the ZAI Trustee and the ZAI Trustee’s processing of claims to

ensure compliance with the ZAI TDP and the PD Trust Agreement. W. R. Grace

shall have the right to conduct annual audits of the books, records and claim

processing procedures of the PD Trust to:

1. examine the sufficiency of the documentary and other evidence submitted

by any Claimant relating to the installation of ZAI in the house or other

building which is the subject of a claim, and the ZAI-related costs incurred

by said Claimant; and

Page 18: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

17

2. confirm that PD Trust expenditures have complied with the terms of the

ZAI Term Sheet, the ZAI Class Settlement Agreement, the Plan, the PD

Trust Agreement and the ZAI TDP;

provided, however, that in the event of unusual claiming and/or payment activity,

the Reorganized Grace may, upon reasonable notice to the ZAI Trustee, conduct

audits in addition to its annual audit.

5.6 Improper or Fraudulent Claims Activity. To the extent the ZAI Trustee and

the Reorganized Grace determine that one or more payments made by the ZAI

Trustee to US ZAI Claimants were made in violation of the terms of the ZAI

Term Sheet, the ZAI Class Settlement Agreement, the Plan, the PD Trust

Agreement or the ZAI TDP:

1. the amounts of such PD Trust payments shall be added to the ZAI Trust

Assets for purposes of calculating the $10 million trigger relating to

deferred contingent payment obligations as set forth in the ZAI Term

Sheet and PD Trust Agreement; and

2. the PD Trust shall review its claim review and payment procedures.

In the event the ZAI Trustee and the Reorganized Grace disagree over

whether one or more payments were made in violation of the ZAI Term

Sheet, ZAI Class Settlement Agreement, the Plan, the PD Trust

Agreement or the ZAI TDP, the parties shall submit such disagreement to

the alternative dispute resolution procedure of Section 5.7.

3. To the extent any noncompliant payments were made as the result of

fraudulent conduct on the part of a contractor, Claimant or other person,

Page 19: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

18

the ZAI Trustee shall notify the Bankruptcy Court and the United States

Attorney for the District of Delaware of such fraud and shall provide all

information those entities may request in connection with any

investigation, civil proceedings or criminal proceedings. The PD Trust

may also initiate litigation against the responsible party or parties to

recover such noncompliant payments.

5.7 Arbitration.

5.7.1 Establishment of ADR Procedures. The ZAI Trustee, with the consent of

the ZTAC and the PD FCR, shall institute non-binding mediation and binding

arbitration procedures for resolving disputes: (1) between the ZAI Trustee and W.

R. Grace or the ZTAC or the PD FCR concerning the operation of the ZAI TDP;

(2) between the ZAI Trustee and a Claimant who contests any matter involving

the ZAI Trustee’s decision on a US ZAI PD Claim.

Mediation shall precede arbitration and be conducted informally before a

single mediator chosen by the parties or, failing agreement, by the American

Arbitration Association.

Arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator chosen either by

agreement of the parties or, absent agreement, by an arbitrator selected by the

American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be conducted in a cost

effective and efficient manner. The costs (excluding attorneys’ fees) of

arbitration shall be borne by the losing party, provided that if the losing party is a

Claimant, and there is a finding by the arbitrator that the Claimant’s position was

Page 20: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

19

unreasonable, the costs of the arbitration will be deducted, to the extent possible,

from the Claimant’s award.

5.7.2 US ZAI PD Claims Eligible for ADR. In order to be eligible for ADR of

a US ZAI PD Claim, the Claimant must first request reconsideration within thirty

(30) days of notification of the ZAI Trustee’s decision. The ZAI Trustee will

reconsider its decision and any additional information the Claimant submits and

render a decision within thirty (30) days. If the Claimant is still dissatisfied, the

Claimant must participate in a mediation before a single mediator chosen by

agreement or, failing agreement, by the American Arbitration Association. The

ZAI Trustee and Claimant may submit written statements to the mediator not to

exceed ten (10) pages, and any party may attend mediation by conference call.

5.7.3 Limitations on and Payment of Arbitration Awards. The arbitrator shall

not return an award in excess of the then-applicable Payment Percentage

multiplied by the Allowed Amount of a claim, which must be computed in

accordance with the ZAI TDP. A Claimant who submits to arbitration and who

accepts the arbitral award shall receive payments in the same manner as one who

accepts the ZAI Trustee’s original valuation of the claim. No interest will be paid

on any award on reconsideration, mediation, or arbitration due to the passage of

time required by the process.

SECTION VI

Claims Materials

6.1 Claims Materials. The ZAI Trustee shall prepare suitable and efficient claims

materials (“Claims Materials”) for all US ZAI Claimants, and shall provide such

Page 21: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

20

Claims Materials on a website for US ZAI PD Claims, as well as in hard copy

upon request. The proof of claim form shall also include a certification by the

Claimant or his or her attorney sufficient to meet the requirements of Rule 11of

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In developing its claim filing procedures,

the ZAI Trustee shall make every effort to provide Claimants with the opportunity

to utilize currently available technology at their discretion, including filing claims

and supporting documentation over the Internet or in electronic form. The proof

of claim form and instructions to be used by the ZAI Trustee shall be developed

by the ZAI Trustee with the consent of the ZTAC and the PD FCR after

consulting with W. R. Grace and may be changed by the ZAI Trustee with the

consent of the ZTAC and the PD FCR after consulting with W. R. Grace.

6.2 Content of Claims Materials. The Claims Materials shall include a copy of this

ZAI TDP, such instructions as the ZAI Trustee shall approve, and a readily

understandable proof of claim form written in simple English. If requested by the

Claimant, the ZAI Trustee shall accept information provided electronically.

6.3 Withdrawal of Claims. A Claimant can withdraw a US ZAI PD Claim at any

time upon written notice to the ZAI Trustee and file a subsequent claim, but any

such claim filed after withdrawal shall be given a place in the FIFO Processing

Queue based on the date of such subsequent filing.

6.4 Confidentiality of Claimant’s Submissions. All submissions to the ZAI Trustee

by a holder of a US ZAI PD Claim, including a proof of claim form and materials

related thereto, shall be treated as made in the course of settlement discussions

between the Claimant and the ZAI Trustee, and intended by the parties to be

Page 22: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

21

confidential and to be protected by all applicable state and federal privileges,

including, but not limited to, those directly applicable to settlement discussions.

The ZAI Trustee will preserve the confidentiality of such Claimant submissions,

and shall disclose the contents thereof only to (a) W. R. Grace as part of the

Claims Audit Program described in Section 5.5 above or (b) only with the

permission of the Claimant, to such other persons as authorized by the Claimant,

in response to a valid subpoena of such materials issued by a Court of competent

jurisdiction, or pursuant to the ZAI Trustee’s duty to notify the Bankruptcy Court

or US Attorney of suspected fraudulent activity. Furthermore, the ZAI Trustee

shall provide the Claimant or counsel for the Claimant notice of any submission

concerning suspected fraudulent activity, and a copy of any subpoena

immediately upon being served. Nothing in this ZAI TDP, the Plan or the PD

Trust Agreement expands, limits or impairs the obligation under applicable law of

a Claimant to respond fully to lawful discovery in an underlying civil action

regarding his or her submission of factual information to the ZAI Trustee for the

purpose of obtaining compensation for US ZAI PD Claims.

SECTION VII

General Guidelines for Liquidating and Paying Claims

7.1 Showing Required. To establish a valid US ZAI PD Claim, a Claimant must

meet the requirements set forth in this ZAI TDP.

7.2 Transaction Costs to be Minimal. Notwithstanding any provisions of this ZAI

TDP to the contrary, the ZAI Trustee shall always give appropriate consideration

to the overall goal of the ZAI TDP to effectuate the processing and payment of

Page 23: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

22

US ZAI PD Claims in a cost-effective manner so that the maximum amount of

ZAI Trust Assets is preserved for payment of claims. The ZAI Trustee shall have

discretion regarding the amount of transaction costs to be expended to ensure that

all valid US ZAI PD Claims are compensated while invalid claims are not.

Nothing herein shall prevent the ZAI Trustee, in appropriate circumstances, from

contesting the validity of any claim against the ZAI Trust Assets in order to

ensure that invalid claims do not deplete the funds reserved for valid claims.

7.3 Discretion to Vary or Suspend Payments in Event of Limited Liquidity.

Consistent with the provisions hereof and subject to the FIFO Processing and

Payment Queues, the Maximum Annual Payment, and the Percentage Payment

requirements set forth herein, the ZAI Trustee shall proceed as quickly as possible

to liquidate valid US ZAI PD Claims, and shall make payments to holders of such

claims in accordance with this ZAI TDP promptly as funds become available and

as claims are liquidated, while maintaining sufficient resources in light of the

contingent payments to be made by W. R. Grace as set forth in the ZAI Term

Sheet and PD Trust Agreement, to pay future valid claims in substantially the

same manner.

Because the ZAI Trust Assets and income over time remain uncertain, and

decisions about payments must be based on estimates that cannot be done

precisely, decisions about the Payment Percentage may have to be revised in light

of experiences over time, and there can be no guarantee of any specific level of

payment to Claimants. However, the ZAI Trustee shall use its best efforts to treat

similar claims in substantially the same manner, consistent with its duties as

Page 24: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

23

Trustee, and the practical limitations imposed by the inability to predict the future

with precision.

In the event that the ZAI Trust Assets face temporary periods of limited

liquidity, the ZAI Trustee may, with the consent of the ZTAC and the PD FCR,

temporarily limit or suspend payments altogether. In extreme situations, the ZAI

Trustee may also, with the consent of the ZTAC and the PD FCR, continue to

receive, but suspend processing of claims to conserve resources.

7.4 Releases. The ZAI Trustee shall have the discretion to determine the form and

substance of the releases to be provided to the PD Trust. As a condition to

making any payment to a Claimant, the ZAI Trustee shall obtain a general, partial,

or limited release as appropriate in accordance with the applicable state or other

law. If allowed by state law, the endorsing of a check or draft for payment by or

on behalf of a Claimant may, in the discretion of the ZAI Trustee, constitute such

a release.

7.5 ZAI Trustee Disclosure of Information. Periodically, but not less often than

once a year, the ZAI Trustee shall make available to W. R. Grace, Claimants and

other interested parties a summary of the number of claims that have been

resolved, indicating the total amounts of the awards, the range of the awards and

the average award. The ZAI Trustee shall also make available annually to W. R.

Grace, the PD FCR, and the ZTAC an audited financial statement. The PD Trust

shall file with the Bankruptcy Court an annual report containing its financial

statements audited by independent registered public accounts.

SECTION VIII

Miscellaneous

8.1 Amendments. Except as otherwise provided herein, the ZAI Trustee may amend,

modify, delete, or add to any provisions of this ZAI TDP (including without

limitation, amendments to conform this ZAI TDP to advances in scientific or

medical knowledge or other changes in circumstances), provided it first obtains

the consent of the ZTAC and the PD FCR, except that consent must also be

obtained from Grace as to any changes to Section 5.3 (ZAI Educational Program);

Section 5.4 (Evidentiary Requirements); Section 5.5 (Claims Audit Program); or

Section 5.6 (Improper or Fraudulent Claims Activity). The ZAI Trustee’s right to

amend shall not apply to the W. R. Grace funding obligations or the payment

percentage of 55% as they are set forth in the ZAI Term Sheet and Class

Settlement Agreement. Nothing herein is intended to preclude the ZTAC or the

PD FCR from proposing to the ZAI Trustee, in writing, amendments to this ZAI

TDP.

8.2 Severability. Should any provision of this ZAI TDP be determined to be

unenforceable, such determination shall in no way limit or affect the

enforceability and operative effect of any and all other provisions of this ZAI

TDP. Should any provision contained in this ZAI TDP be determined to be

inconsistent with or contrary to W. R. Grace’s obligations under the ZAI Term

Sheet, Class Settlement Agreement, the Plan or the PD Trust Agreement, the ZAI

Trustee with the consent of the ZTAC and the PD FCR may amend this ZAI TDP

Page 26: IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE … · 1 WRG UNITED STATES ZONOLITE ATTIC INSULATION (“US ZAI”) PROPERTY DAMAGE SETTLEMENT TRUST DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURES The WRG

25

to make the provisions of the ZAI TDP consistent with the duties and obligations

of W. R. Grace as set forth in those documents.

8.3 Governing Law. Administration of this ZAI TDP shall be governed by, and

construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.
